Verse 1:

E A B E A B

I returned a bag of groceries accidently taken off the

E A B E

shelf before the expiration date

E A B E A B

I came back as a bag of groceries accident-ly taken off the

E A B E E7

shelf before the date stamped on myself

Chorus:

A F#m

did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the

A F#m B B7

basket and was everybody dancing on the casket

E A B

now it's over I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want or I'm

E A B E B7

still alive and there's nothing I want to do

Verse 2:

I will never say the word procrastenate again

I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed

I didn't apologize for when I was eight and I made my

Younger brother have to be my personal slave

Chorus:

did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the

Basket? and was everybody dancing on the casket

Now it's over I'm Dead and I haven't done anything that I want or I'm

Still alive and there's nothing I want to do

Bridge:

E A E A

So I won't sit at home anymore and you won't

E A E A

See my head in the win- dow and I won't be around

E A E A B B7

Ever anymore and I'll be up there on the wall at the store

Verse 1:

I returned a bag of groceries accidently taken off the

shelf before the expiration date

I came back as a bag of groceries accident-ly taken off the

shelf before the date stamped on myself

Chorus:

did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the

Basket? and was everybody dancing on the casket

Now it's over I'm Dead and I haven't done anything that I want or I'm

Still alive and there's nothing I want to do

Now it's over I'm Dead and I haven't done anything that I want or I'm

Still alive and there's nothing I want to do
